For two programs both coming off state semi-final appearances, the coaches hope that the game gives their teams a good taste of what's to come during the regular season.
"They're a great program, and a great coaching staff over there," said Catholic head coach Hudson Fuller. "It's a great opportunity to have a program that allows us to be prepared for our season."
Despite the preseason setting, both coaches spoke as if they were preparing for a mid-season clash.
"Catholic's a physical football team, so we need to match their physicality and be ready for their adjustments," said U-High head coach Andy Martin. "I think that's a good dress rehearsal for what we have the following week and what we have the weeks after that. They do a good job over there so we need to try to match that."
Things get real for U-High very quickly when the regular season gets started. The Cubs face Archbishop Rummel on Sep. 4 for week one. Meanwhile, Catholic takes on Carrollton.
Something these programs have in common is that both teams have new starting quarterbacks this season. Catholic's turning their offense over to junior Camden Estep, while Knox Kiffin, son of LSU head football coach Lane Kiffin, will be starting at QB for the Cubs.
